Rob and Dave take a look back at 1982s E.T the Extra-Terrestrial. We talk about the career of its creator, Howard Scott Warshaw leading up to the creation of the E.T. video game. We'll look at the game itself, and talk about what was thought about it at the time. We'll follow that up with a look at the video game crash of 1983, all the causes of it, including E.T's contribution, and some of the effects it had on the industry. Join us for an anything but recession-proof trip down Memory Card Lane.
